Endless Journey from Naruto

At the gate of Konoha, at the sentry post, two people are chatting.

"It's getting more and more uneven recently, Izumo."

Inside the sentry post, Steel Zitie, who was lying on the table and wearing a bandage across the bridge of the nose and both cheeks, said to his companions.

"Yeah, after a truce with Yunyin Village, another [Xiao] organization has popped up, which has the ability to capture Renzhuli. This is really..."

Kamizuki Izumo sighed, wearing a ninja hat and long brown hair covering his right eye.

"Yeah, by the way, do you think Naruto was really caught by them?"

Steel Iron asked.

"I heard that even Jiraiya-sama's psychic toad can't find him with the reverse psychic technique...Recently, Hinata Kaorin and the others are very depressed. Every time I see them, I look like A listless look."

Steel Iron said.

"Who knows? Although Jiraiya-sama said that Naruto is stronger than him, even if Naruto meets many people from the [Akatsuki] organization, he might not be an opponent."

Shenyue Izumo said.

"After all, those who can enter [Akatsuki] organization are those S-level rebels, all of them are as strong as monsters, even if Naruto meets him, it's probably...yeah?!!!"

As Shenyue Izumo said, he suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

"Hey, Izumo, what's the matter with you? Have you been bitten by a bug?"

Gang Zitie lay on the table and asked lazily.

"No, look quickly, isn't that Naruto's kid?"

Shenyue Izumo pinched Gang Zitie's neck, picked him up, turned his neck and looked towards the entrance of the Konoha gate.

At this time, there was a blond figure slowly swaying in.

"Huh? It's really Naruto. Although he changed his clothes, his body shape and appearance haven't changed much."

Gang Zitie widened his eyes and said.

Naruto at this moment is wearing a white sweater bought in the world of [Holy Grail War], jeans, and a pair of sneakers on his feet. The specific style of painting feels incompatible with Konoha Village.

"Huh? It's the two seniors Shenyue Izumo and Gang Zitie. What's wrong with you? Seeing me is like seeing a ghost."

Naruto, who heard the voice, walked towards the two of them.

"It's not bad to say hell."

Gang Zitie looked at Naruto and smiled.

"Yeah, a guy who has been missing for two years suddenly appeared in front of us. Anyone who sees him will be the same as us, right?"

Shenyue Izumo said.

"I see, in the ninja world, have I been away for two years?"

Naruto thought to himself.

"Speaking of Naruto, where have you been these two years? Master Jiraiya and the others have been unable to contact you."

Shenyue Izumo asked.

"That's right, plus there's an [Akatsuki] organization that specializes in capturing Jinjuriki. If you don't come back, maybe Ziraiya-sama and the others will label you as dead."

Steel Iron said.

"Well, I went on a trip to a very distant place, and I had a good time. It's isolated from the world, so Master Zilaiye and the others couldn't contact me. I'm fine."

Naruto said with a haha.

"There is really a place in this world that automatically isolates psychic techniques? Jiraiya-sama's psychic toad doesn't even respond to your reverse psychic technique."

Shenyue Izumo said.

"It's good that you come back, go and see Tsunade-sama and the others."

Steel Iron said.

"There are also Hinata and Xianglin, they have been very worried about you during this time."

Shenyue Izumo reminded.

"Understood, then I'll go first, see you next time, two seniors."

Naruto waved at Shenyue Izumo and Gang Zitie, and then disappeared in place in an instant.

pat!

At the same moment, two boxes of pastries bought from Fuyuki fell on the table in front of them.

"It's a local specialty."

Naruto's voice came slowly.

-

On a street, four slim figures were walking side by side, each holding a pile of documents.

"There is more and more information recently, and it feels like something big is going to happen again."

Ino with long pale yellow hair said.

"Yeah, apart from cultivating, I have to help the master deal with a lot of documents every day. If it were the days when I just apprenticed to the master, I would probably have collapsed."

Sakura, who had her long pink hair cut short, said.

"..."

"..."

It can be seen that Sakura and Ino are trying their best to stir up the topic, hoping to liven up the atmosphere, but the other two seem to have no energy.

"Well, cheer up, Hinata, Kaorin."

Ino said to Hinata and Karin who had long hair, one black and one red.

"Yeah, don't worry, you all know Naruto's strength. He was already stronger than Jiraiya-sama two years ago, how could something happen."

Sakura also comforted the two of them.

"Yeah, that's right. We're fine, thank you, Sakura and Ino."

Hinata, who seemed to be getting more and more mature, smiled reluctantly at Sakura and Ino.

"That guy Naruto, where did he go? Damn it, when I see him, I'm going to give him a hard punch... huh?"

Xianglin said angrily, then suddenly froze, looked forward, tears overflowed from his eyes.

"What's wrong? Xianglin."

Motivated by Kaorin's reaction, Sakura and the others also looked forward.

"Ok!"

"Ming, Naruto?"

"It's Naruto-kun!!!"

The other three saw an unexpected person.

Naruto was standing in front of them at the moment, looking at them with a smile.

"Yo, long time no see... oh!"

Just as Naruto reached out to greet the four of them, he saw Xiang Lin throwing down a pile of materials in his hand and rushing towards him.

"What! You haven't heard from me for two years, what are you doing?"

Xianglin jumped into Naruto's arms, like a koala, hugged Naruto's neck tightly, hung on Naruto's body, and said with a choked voice.

"Well, didn't I come back? Don't worry, I'm fine."

Naruto hugged Xianglin to comfort her, while walking towards the other three.

"Long time no see, Sakura and Ino. You guys have matured a lot."

Naruto smiled at Sakura and Ino.

"It's okay, but Naruto, you are pretty much the same as before, you haven't changed much."

Ino, who had a more lively personality, smiled at Naruto.

"Well, this is also impossible."

Naruto shrugged and said helplessly.

There is no way, for him, it has only been more than ten days. Although he has gradually lost his way physically, it is impossible for him to grow a lot in just ten days.

"Hina, long time no see, how are you doing?"

After greeting Sakura and Ino, Naruto looked at Hinata who had been silently watching him.

"Okay, long time no see, Naruto-kun. I'm fine lately... good!"

Hinata replied with her usual soft and weak attitude, and then seemed to be dead, unable to speak.

Because, Naruto moved the fragrant phosphorus in his arms to the side, and then made room to hold Hinata into his arms.

"I'm sorry for making you worry."

Naruto put his head between Hinata and Kaorin, and apologized softly.

"...Welcome back, Naruto-kun."

Hinata managed to recover from the dizziness, hugged Naruto and said softly.

"Idiot, don't let people worry about you so much in the future."

Xianglin hugged Naruto tightly, and the words fell into Naruto's ears with sobs.

"Well, not anymore."

Naruto said softly, holding the two of them quietly, and slowly waiting for them to calm down.
